Great customer service. Cabinets arrived quickly and were very easy to assemble. I could not find similar quality RTA Kitchen Cabinets at lower price anywhere else.

I was skeptical about buying kitchen cabinets online but after speaking with Eugene and receiving cabinet samples I decided to buy Cream Maple rta cabinets from Craftsmen Network. I enjoyed the high end features that these cabinets offer. Total price was about 30% lower than big box store quotes.

Free shipping made all the difference. Cabinets are great and assembly was easy. I can't wait when we finish our kitchen renovation.

Everybody knows that decks are a great addition to your home. The deck is a place where you can sit outside and enjoy the evening sunset or you can enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise. There are many possibilities when you start looking for deck ideas. Using a deck building calculator is a way for you to determine what type of deck you can financially afford.

A deck can be fairly inexpensive if you only want a place to sit and relax. You will have room for an outdoor grill and a small table and chairs where you can enjoy your meals outdoors. The expense comes in when you want something other than your basic deck. This is where you really need to use a deck building calculator to keep track of your costs and expenses.

You can do practically anything you want with the addition of a deck. You can create your own outdoor kitchen where you can cook your meals and entertain your friends or you can create your own private garden oasis. The key is to build your deck to provide you with the amenities you enjoy. Using a deck building calculator will help you determine which features you can afford and which ones will have to wait until a later date. Many people enjoy putting a hot tub on their deck and this requires a little more planning because of the added weight of the tub and the water. If you want to add a hot tub you should get some ideas from the hot tub builder about what type of support the tub will need to sustain the weight. Don’t forget to add this additional support to your calculator because adding the support will mean additional expense and possibly even additional labor.

Many people like a wrap around deck that covers the side and back of the house. You might want to have a pretty garden in the area of the deck that gets the most sun during the day. You need to make sure you know what your deck measurements are so that you can properly calculate the expense of purchasing the lumber needed for the area.

Adding a deck to your home can actually extend your living space. In many areas they have mild temperatures several months throughout the year. A deck can be used for anything from dining, cooking, entertaining, to enjoying an evening relaxing in the hot tub and watching the stars. Your deck building calculator will help you determine what size and amenities you can afford. It is not necessary that you do the entire project at one time. You can always stretch out the project over several months so that you can afford to add the elements you desire. Your calculator will keep a running estimate of your costs so that you know how much money you will need for each item. This is a great way to plan your project out so that you are not put into a financial burden when unexpected expenditures are higher than you thought.

Adding a deck to your home can be as inexpensive or as expensive as you want to make it. There are so many things you can do with a deck that you are only limited by your finances. They can be elaborate or they can be simple and plain. The important thing is to make them enjoyable. By using a deck building calculator you can plan your deck to meet your desires and needs.
